Having experienced Six Sigma at GE, I can tell you that it is a process to eliminate errors, decrease cost, increase productivity and the like. What you can expect will be more cost outs. We have seen some already: Remove the power switch and use the switch on the power supply at the backbox, redesign the lockdown bar mechanism so it is cheaper, change the leg bolts brackets inside to smaller cheaper design, make coil stops cheaper so they work fine while they are new, use surface mount circuit cards to decrease the base cost, put cheaper pushbuttons in the coin door to decrease base cost... The list will continue to grow now, probably at a faster pace. All the people at Stern will probably be tasked to come up with at least one project per year to save money, increase productivity or save time. The concept sounds good, but the results will likely be cost outs for cheaper parts.

Well, I woke up this morning, does that count?
